Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game: Forbidden Infinity

Release: July 18, 2024

“EXODIA, THE DESTRUCTION!”
The highly anticipated Forbidden End expansion was unveiled at the Yu-Gi-Oh! DUEL MONSTERS The Legend of Duelist QUARTER CENTURY event at the Tokyo Dome in Japan. This new expansion promises a return to the game's roots with a revolutionary strategy centered around the invincible Exodia !

The New Fusion Monster Exodia

In this expansion, revealing all five parts of Exodia from your hand, Deck, or on the field allows you to summon a brand-new Exodia Fusion Monster ! This monster has incredible abilities:

  • Indestructibility : Cannot be destroyed by card effects.
  • Growing Power : Add your current Life Points to her Attack Value each turn. This bonus is permanent, making Exodia even more powerful each turn.
  • Magic/Trap Cancellation : Cancels one Magic or Trap activation per turn for free.
  • Card Fetch : Fetch an Exodia-themed Spell/Trap card from your Deck each turn.

New Archetype: "Tablet" Monsters

The expansion also introduces a new archetype inspired by ancient Egypt, where the Pharaoh and his priests summoned spirit monsters using large stone tablets. Here's how this new mechanic works:

  1. Place Tablet Card : Place your "Tablet" monster on the field as a Spell Card.
  2. Special Summon : Use your Life Points to Special Summon this card as a monster to the field.
  3. Special Summon : All of these summons are special, allowing you to use your Normal Summon for something else.

For those who prefer not to sacrifice their Life Points, a new Special Spell Card allows you to use Thousand-Year Magic to summon these monsters without costing Life Points. Revealable from your hand, it is essential for summoning the Fusion Monster Exodia .
